Some architecture still bears \u201cghost signs\u201d for brands like Wilder\u2019s Stomach Powder, and although these exteriors can give the impression of a tomb, their interiors reveal a city in a chrysalis stage. Historic buildings are turning into invaluable institutions: in 2022, Hudson\u2019s Bay gave its six-storey landmark to the Southern Chiefs\u2019 Organization, with plans to turn it into affordable housing, an art gallery and more. (It was symbolically traded for two beaver pelts and two elk hides.) There\u2019s a modern culinary campus for Red River College Polytechnic, and young entrepreneurs are opening pop-up vintage stores.
